Mr Ayodele Akele, National General-Secretary, National Conscience Party (NCP), on Monday while adressing newsmen denied that the party had merged with other political parties in the country.
"The NCP has not merged and will not merge with any other political party.
"This is to dispel all rumours and put the records straight in the overall interest of our members.
"At the NCP National Working Committee (NWC) meeting held on Dec. 13 and 14th in Abuja, which I was part of, the issue of alliance was not part of our agenda.
"The statement credited to our national chairman is personal to him as the NWC never took such decisions at the meeting, `` Akele said.
The NCP National Chairman, Dr Yunusa Tanko, was on Saturday reported as saying that the party had resolved to go into a working alliance with four other parties.
The parties, according to Tanko, include the Labour Party (LP), the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Advance Congress of Democracy (ACD) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Akele said that the position of the NCP and the wishes of its members, which had not changed, were that the party could not loose its identity and reputation due to a merger.
